The Crow's Nest

Seasonal. Dinner, Wednesday-Sunday in June, seven nights July and August, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., 11 p.m on weekendss.

Sean MacPherson, a well-known impresario of restaurants, hotels, and night spots, turned the Crow's Nest Inn into a high-style destination that attracts a late-night crowd. To the east of downtown Montauk at the south end of Lake Montauk there'a a view from the patio and pleasant seating inside. Prices have crept up since it opened, with local striped bass $38 and prime dry aged ribeye $68. Dishes for the health conscious might include kale or local squid salads, curried vegetables or summer spaghetti. The chicken kebabs with Sardinia cous cous, harissa, and mint yogurt is a winner.
